Why are hymns not called hers?
Because we say amen not awomen
(Ben says everyone has heard this joke before and I'm a bit dim for not having heard it)

Silent faith
At the moment my faith has no words. I believe and ponder it but I haven't been vocalising it. I try to act it out but words haven't featured for a while.
I'm not sure if this is good or bad or anything at all. I used to be very into vocalising my faith and views - I'd love to have discussions with people, debates on the forum, wrote down prayers if I struggled to say them aloud and pondered bits of theology as I learned.
Now my prayer life is much more to do with feelings and moods, almost like a thread of spirit going to heaven that keeps God and I in touch but doesn't need to be put into sentences. I think I like it that way.
This is like introverted faith... I don't really like sharing it with people anymore because I rarely find people on the same wavelength. I'm not sure how it fits in with the community aspect of faith though. Maybe it's a phase.

i carry your heart with me
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
